    Captured German Map.

    This map is taken from a German map captured 31/7/1917. Note it has their German names on it and our English names also.

    Looks like it's a British map sheet annotated with the information from the captured German map. I don't think it does have any German names on it - the ones which aren't English look like the local Flemish names to me. This must have been a very useful resource for the local commanders on the ground.
